Myron D. Garner

“Don't cry for me. I will be okay. Heaven is my home now, and this is where I'll stay. Don't cry for me. I'm where I belong. I want you to be happy and try to stay strong. Don't cry for me. It was just my time, but I will see you someday on the other side. Don't cry for me. I am not alone. The angels are with me to welcome me home. Don't cry for me, for I have no fear. All my pain is gone, and Jesus took my tears. Don't cry for me. This is not the end. I'll be waiting here for you when we meet again.”

Myron D. Garner was born May 28, 1982 in Mullins, South Carolina to Betty Garner and Don Burroughs. He departed his earthly life on Thursday, December 31, 2020 at McLeod Regional Medical Center in Florence, South Carolina surrounded by family.

Myron received his education through the Mullins Public School system. Myron enjoyed sports, especially Football. His favorite team was the Denver Broncos. He loved to laugh and make people smile. He was known to be very outspoken and a protector of his family and friends. Playing cards, listening to music and fishing were some of the hobbies that he loved to do. Myron was considered a “jack of all trades” working with his hands - carpentry work, a bit of plumbing, odd jobs and so on. A few years ago, Myron faced some medical difficulties, but he always maintained an upbeat attitude. He was preceded in death by his parents Betty Garner and Don Burroughs, his brother Norvin Howard of Mullins, SC and best friend Bradford Crawford of Mullins, SC.
